The Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced their exciting baby news right at the beginning of their first overseas tour together, which will see them stop in Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and the Tonga!

Click through to see all the moments Harry and Meghan opened up about parenthood and their "little one" while on their royal tour...

Prince Harry is ready for daddy duty! While he and Duchess Meghan were greeting well-wishers along the Viaduct Harbour in Auckland, the 34-year-old told one of his fans that he was "over the moon" about becoming a dad, according to royal reporter Carolyn Durand. When the woman said it's a lot of hard work, he responded: "Oh, I know – I'm ready!"

The Sussexes have officially revealed their nickname for their future baby, and it's the sweetest thing ever. While giving a speech in New Zealand on Oct. 29, the proud dad-to-be said: "From myself and my wife and our little bump, we are so grateful to be here. We bring blessing from my grandmother the Queen and our family."

Everywhere the royal couple goes, one of their well-wishers has a Baby Sussex prediction! On day nine of their whirlwind royal tour, the parents-to-be visited the University of South Pacific in Fiji, and stopped to chat with a student afterwards. The boy said: "I'm predicting it's going to be a boy," while Harry responded: "Everyone is predicting it's going to be a girl." The Royal Family Channel on YouTube shared a clip of the sweet moment.

Sounds like the prince is ready for a little princess! While walking past the crowds during the cycling event in Sydney on Oct. 21, a fan called out to Harry that she hopes "it's a girl," as shared on the Instagram account @Harry_Meghan_Up, and the duke replied "So do I!"

Prince Harry attended an Invictus cycling event on Oct. 21 solo, as the couple had decided that Meghan could use some rest. The royal caught up with loads of competitors, telling some that his wife was “resting back at home, being pregnant takes its toll.” The duchess made it to the day's other two events, a reception at The Pavilion Restaurant hosted by the Prime Minister and a sailing event. It was revealed earlier in the day that Meghan would be a bit choosier about which engagements she attends, with a royal aide telling reporters: "After a busy programme, The Duke and Duchess have decided to cut back The Duchess's schedule slightly for the next couple of days, ahead of the final week and a half of the tour."

Prince Harry just couldn't help but mention future Baby Sussex during his Invictus Games opening ceremony speech! "First of all, thank you for the welcome you have given Meghan and I over the last few days," he gushed. "I have been so proud to be able to introduce my wife to you and we have been so happy to be able to celebrate the personal joy of our newest addition with you all."

Royal reporter Emily Andrews spoke to 35-year-old Charlotte Waverley, who told her about the chat she had with Meghan on Bondi Beach. “She told me that pregnancy was like having jet lag. She said she was up at 4:30 am this am doing yoga in her room as she couldn’t sleep. It’s a bit of a double whammy for her, she said, as she has both the baby and jet lag to contend with.” You certainly couldn't tell given how radiant the mother-to-be looked on the beach!

Now that the baby news is out, royal watchers are wondering two things: will it be a boy or a girl, and what will his or her name be? Luckily, it sounds like the Sussexes have received a lot of help in the name department already!

While on a tram ride to South Melbourne Beach, Harry and Meghan were asked if they'd picked out any names yet, to which the duchess replied: "We've been given a long list of names from everyone. We're going to sit down and have a look at them."

One royal well-wisher, Jessica, introduced her five-year-old daughter, Harriet. "As soon as I introduced my daughter to Harry, he said, 'That's a great name,'" the proud parent shared. "Maybe they will choose it for their own child, which would be fun."

Meghan revealed while in Dubbo that she is "running on adrenaline" as she undertakes all 76 engagements on the couple's 16-day tour while pregnant. Despite being a little tired, she said she's been feeling "pretty well so far."

During the reception, Meghan had the opportunity to meet Australian celebrity math teacher Eddie Woo and his wife. She shared with the couple that she “couldn’t wait to join the club” when talking about children.

During the intimate party, Prince Harry delivered a speech in which he expressed his delight over sharing his baby news Down Under. "It’s great to be back in Australia, and especially even more so, this is my wife’s first trip here, so I’m very excited to show her this incredible country of yours," he said before bashfully adding,"We genuinely couldn't think of a better place to announce the upcoming baby, be it a boy or a girl."

As on any royal tour, babies and children are always around the corner – and Meghan and Harry have shown time and time again how great they are with the little ones. For the couple's final engagement of their first official day in Australia, they attended a reception at Admiralty House. The Duchess of Sussex kept busy admiring nine-week-old Luna, the daughter of Australian singer Missy. The proud mom showed off her daughter and shared these words of wisdom to mom-to-be Meghan: "Cherish each moment because it goes by so fast. It really does." Harry later came over and cooed, "Who’s this little cutie?"

During Prince Harry's visits to Australia in 2015 and 2017, he always made sure to stop by to chat with nonagenarian Daphne Dunne - and this time, he had his pregnant wife along for the ride! Meghan knelt down in front of the 98-year-old and held her hands, happily chatting with the elderly woman about her future baby. Before saying goodbye, Meghan said: "Hopefully the next time we see you we'll have our little one with us!"

Just hours after making their baby news known, Prince Harry and Meghan paid a visit to Admiralty House – where they'll be staying while in Australia – to meet with Governor-General Sir Peter Cosgrove and his wife, Lady Lynne Cosgrove.

Naturally, baby Sussex was the topic of discussion! Peter and Lynne gave the couple an adorable kangaroo plush and the sweetest pair of UGG boots to keep their future baby's feet warm. "It's our first baby gift!" Meghan gushed.

Earlier, while the two were posing for photos, a few people congratulated them on their pregnancy, to which Meghan responded: "Thank you so much. We are very excited."
